Helped launch Showtime Networks first website. From there to NBC’s Internet division and ran NBC.com, launching some of the first TV to Web experiences. In 2003, helped launch InsiderPages which was acquired by CitySearch in 2006. Since then, helping clients big and small with this strange thing called “SEO”.

The guys over at Palore have been sending me some interesting info on the local search sites they have been crawling. Recently they looked at how many sites a particular business appeared on as an advertiser. According to their data it looks like a high percentage of SMBs advertise on only one site. Check these out:

Makes sense to me. A typical SMB is probably advertising online as part of print/online package from a local Yellow Pages co. The real interesting data will be to see how this changes over the next quarter or two, particularly for Xmas.

I would expect the Reach Locals, Weblistics, and other local internet sales plays to start pulling SMBs into multiple sites.
